Eli not on injury report

It’s a miracle! Eli is healed! Remarkably, one day after Tom Coughlin said Eli Manning was “in some pain” due to a chest injury he suffered Monday night, and one day after he was sent to the hospital for X-Rays and an MRI, the Giants’ quarterback does not appear on the team’s preliminary injury report. That means that they are expecting him to practice fully later today. Considering he has admitted to having some sort of injury, I’m assuming he’ll have to appear on the official injury report when the team releases it after practice. The preliminary report they issue is an unofficial list, given out mostly as a courtesy to the media. But the omission of Manning can only be taken as a positive sign. Also not on the list is S James Butler, who had his left biceps tightly wrapped after he injured it in Monday night’s game. On the list are C Shaun O’Hara (toe), LB Antonio Pierce (quad) and LB Gerris Wilkinson (knee). (link)
